    Add spouse to Lifetime Planner.

    To start,  under Planning>Lifetime Planner tab, click Change Assumptions button.   In the Planning Assumptions window, select About You>Edit.   In the About You window, check Include Spouse (Image 1).  Checking this box should allows you to add planner data for your spouse.

    Once you have your spouse's details added, LTP allows you to input additional spouse data for Salary, Retirement Benefits, Investments and others.   Click on the ? icon in the About You dialog in image 1.  LTPs's help section is generally pretty good.

    A note re: Investments.   To assign an investment, retirement, et al account owner (you or your spouse): In the Planning Assumptions window,  go to Investments and highlight an Investment Account, click on Details button, then assign ownership.
